ISSUE:
I have tried to send an e-mail via SMTP from Thunderbird via Google Gmail account and it shown an OAuth Google page / login form, but when i enter e-mail address and submit it just return back asking to enter e-mail again and does not proceed further.

SOLUTION:
What fixed this was to go to Thunderbird / Edit / Preferences / Privacy & Security / Web content / and enable "Accept cookies from sites" i set it to ALways and keep until expire. I think Thunderbird should handle this better and allow cookies and delete it immediately on such important auth forms. Or warn user that SMTP/IMAP Auth. forms can stop working.
